Our Home: Part 1

As most of you know my Hubby and I purchased our first home recently. Read about it HERE. Well many have been asking for pictures of the house. It is a HUD home, meaning we bought it as is and need to fix it up. I have the before pictures and then the after pictures as of May 4. It is amazing how much Hubby has done. He has done all the work himself. I can take no credit. He does have some amazing brothers who have helped out as well. Thanks guys! That roof would not have gotten fixed without your help. Now onto the pics.

Here are the before pictures first.

Here is the laundry area

Kitchen-

Yep that is right there was no kitchen.

just the little counter top to the left.

Now Here are the after pictures.

I added notes to tell you what hubby did.

This is Miss Priss's room. He had to replace all the wood on the floor.

Sorry no before of this one, but it was REAL bad.

There was a lot of water damage,

which was why he replaced the floor boards.

Kitchen. That's right he's building me cabinets.

The living room.

He ripped out the carpet and painted the floors brown

(this brown will be throughout the whole house)

The dry wall had water damage, which is why he ripped it out.

Yep my man is pretty tough.

Friday is the big moving day!

I am so excited!

I was at the house today cleaning a little and I unpacked a few boxes.

It was so fun thinking I will be cooking dinner there on Sunday.

I am thankful for a hubby who seriously CAN do anything he puts his mind to.

He amazes me everyday and I love him so much.

Thank you honey so much for helping to make this house a home.

I love you so much and love you for all the work you have done.

I thank you for the long days you have put in, while working on this house.

For the littles things you have added to the kitchen, because you knew I would appreciate them.
